Ahhh, cuteness! I love fluffy favs!

i did it when Chloe and her brother were 10 days old and had 8 LF favs hatch and 2 polish. they all got along fine. Chloe actually acted motherly then to everyone so i guess it was a sign of how she would do as a real adult mom!

i worry more about adding young chicks with a mom and her current chicks. some will take them in others don't want anything to do with them.

Thats good to hear it might also make a diffrence that the two week olds are Bantams and the new chicks are LF. Hopefully I get at least 4 more from this hatch and then a few bantams on Wednesday.

I have also put day olds in with two 1 month old pullets before. The babies snuggled under the older chicks, and they were fine with it. They did not pick on the little ones at all.

There are at least 4 more pips and even one of the bantam eggs is pipped!

Ha ha sorry if I mentioned you in the past tense. I had no idea if you still had faverolles I am really glad you do! They are noe my favorite and only breed and I am building a flock of bantams and just hatched my first LF. I love reading your website and its given me tons of great information! I also love looking at pictures of your beautiful birds.

Keep up the amazing work can't wait to see the updated site in the future. I might have to email you pictures of my flock of bantams and see what you have to say about them.

Thanks for joining in!

Welcome Peter! I'm happy to see some of the old guard is still into the breed. Even if you can't offer birds you can offer something just as valuable - many years of experience. Most of us are new to quality faverolles, and would appreciate (and need!) some guidance with our birds.

I do wish there were more breeders with LF though.

Here are the new baby bantams. They don't like to pose in one place, that's for sure.

And some after little Katherine's toes.

Another chick out they are flying out of their eggs! Hope I find a bunch in the morning.
